As a finalist for the Mobile Chamber’s Small Business of the Year award, the company reflects excellence in business and community engagement.

Harvey & Thomas Orthodontics traces its roots back to the 1990s originally known as Keith Harvey Ortho. Since its rebranding in 2016, the practice has seen growth, doubling its team from 21 employees in 2022 to 45 in 2023. This expansion has included the addition of a third orthodontist, the opening of a new location in Saraland and the acquisition of a long-standing practice from a retiring orthodontist.

Specializing in braces and Invisalign, Harvey & Thomas Orthodontics focuses on creating healthy smiles while fostering lasting relationships with patients and the community.

The team’s efforts go beyond orthodontic care. Their mission drives every interaction, aiming to improve the lives of those it serves. They donate 20 to 30 sets of braces annually to children in need and participate in community events such as the Mobile Chamber’s Business Expo, bridal shows, pet festivals and car shows.

The company’s mission is to impact as many employees and patients as possible by enriching their daily experiences and contributing positively to the community. The practice has restructured its payment options to make orthodontic care more accessible. This effort has allowed more community members to benefit from treatment, aligning with its mission to remove barriers to care and expand its impact.

Its school initiatives include hosting teacher appreciation meals, organizing “Stock the Bookbag” giveaways for students and sponsoring back-to-school and end-of-year celebrations. The practice also offers mentorship opportunities by inviting students to shadow its doctors and staff, providing insights into careers in orthodontics.

Harvey & Thomas Orthodontics also extends its reach through volunteerism. Its doctors dedicate their time at Children’s Rehabilitation Services, underscoring the practice’s dedication to giving back.
